James Franco looks very inviting in the new poster for Oz The Great and Powerful

It has begun, we’re starting to get character posters for Sam Raimi’s upcoming film OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL as today the one with James Franco (who plays Oscar Diggs from Kansas) has been revealed. I’m not a huge James Franco fan or anything, but I have to admit he is looking pretty dashing in this poster. I would have preferred the background a little more colorful and peppy, but that’s just because it doesn’t seem safe to follow a strange man into a dark forest like the one featured behind him. Where’s the Emerald City or Munchkinland for heaven’s sake? Check out the new poster below.

Directed by Sam Raimi, OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL stars: Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, James Franco, Rachel Weisz, Abigail Spencer, Joey King and Zach Braff. It’s set to hit theaters next spring on March 8, 2013. (Walt Disney Pictures)
